Evolve with us at Connexity by AAHA

Lucky and Jayme's life-changing story, with its themes of connection, community, and achieving positive change, played out in real time at the inaugural Connexity by AAHA. This reimagined conference just for accredited and preaccredited practice teams offers social, solutions-driven learning wrapped in an extraordinary experience.

AAHA guidelines

Like all companion animals, Lucky deserves the most advanced care. AAHA’s Guidelines provide veterinarians with the most up-to-date science for treating dogs and cats on a variety of topics, from weight management to diabetes to vaccinations.

AAHA publishes top resources for veterinary professionals

When Jayme first adopted Lucky, he had a minor resource guarding issue—but with the help of the AAHA Behavior Brochures, Jayme was able to work with Lucky to solve this problem and prevent others from cropping up. AAHA Press has many resources to help clinicians, hospital teams, and clients solve problems and thrive.

AAHA Continuing education

Lucky’s mom knows how important it is to keep up with the latest developments in the veterinary field. AAHA offers RACE-approved CE in a variety of formats, from on-site certificate programs to online classes. As the only veterinarian at her busy practice, that’s important.
